Nice boar and nice lookin dogs too. I'll say 278.
Just curious how you knew your dog backtracked? Did you see the hog before the dogs? Mine do that from time to time. Fun to watch them straighten it out and really turn on the heat.
We were sitting on a road inbetween two fields and when the dogs winded the hog from the ranger all of them were holding their heads up towards the field to the south of us. When we put Sweet Pea on the ground, she put her nose to the ground and took off into the field to the north of us. She ran the track for a minute and then turned around and beelined into the field to the south of us and thats where he was. I figure that at first, she ran the track backwards and then figured it out and turned around.
